The evolution of Martial Art started with the inspiration of personal development besides the popular understanding of Fighting forms. In 520 AD the systematic Martial Arts had a historical shift from Kanchipuram, India to Shaolin temple , Henan province ,China. Bodhidharma was the Prince of king Sugandha ,Kanchipuram, India and he mastered the self-defence arts , along with higher psychophysical and spiritual training systems. He went to China as per his master Praggatara's desire. There Bodhidharma ended up at the famous Shaolin temple where he taught the monks about special breathing, meditation and historical eighteen hands exercises which later on was transformed in to Shaolin's glorious form of Martial art. Bodhidharma thereby known as the modern father of systematic form of self-defence. His contribution and philosophy is mentioned with importance in Chinese literature and history books as well..
The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of systematic forms of self-defence or martial arts and was nourished at Shaolin temple the cradle of Martial Arts.

Gradually through Buddist religious mission and trade relations Martial art started to spread from Shaolin temple to the various groups and countries with different identities.
